THE WAY WE DEVELOP LEADERS IS WRONG
LEADERS: WHAT'S IN THE WAY IS THE WAY
LEADERS: WHAT'S IN THE WAY IS THE WAY
Of all types of corporate training, leadership development is invested in to a far larger degree than any kind of workplace learning, yet 71% of organizational executives do not believe their leaders are able to lead their organization into the future. Why? Because after all the money spent, just 15 per cent of leaders who get training are actually able to establish permanent change after traditional learning experiences.
I have a different take on this, and offer thoughts on how organizations can avoid wasting their money.

LEADERS: WHAT'S IN THE WAY IS THE WAY
Leaders are the ones best positioned in their organizations to make things better, yet so little of their development (and so few of the performance expectations placed on them) centres on creating the conditions for workplaces where employees can bring their talents to the fore.
Be it procrastination, performance anxiety or dealing with behavioural derailers, this session offers a road map on how leaders can create daily practices that positively impact their teams and bottom-line results—and establish a leadership presence based on integrity and candour, both essential to productive and healthy relationships
LEADERSHIP BEFORE AND AFTER CANCER
LEADERS: WHAT'S IN THE WAY IS THE WAY
LEADERSHIP BEFORE AND AFTER CANCER
Along with all the fears and indignities, cancer invites us to embrace uncertainty as we are pushed to live with ambiguity, trusting that even when the path ahead is obscured, we can still find ways to join forces with others and move forward.
These are two of several lessons I've been forced to reckon with as I navigate a completely unexpected diagnosis in the middle of a career pivot. This session is an exploration of the powerful lessons of leadership that emerge when our world is rocked by events, be they in our personal or professional lives.

BREAKOUT SESSIONS :: TRAINING :: RETREATS
Need someone experienced, energetic and inspiring to lead your retreat, workshop or break-out session? I get people thinking, talking and working better together, minimizing and mitigating the obstacles to effective team work. If you want to foster a healthier, more collaborative workplace culture, I have the knowledge and tools to get you started. With hundreds of successful sessions under my belt, I am your partner to surface group wisdom and support the alignment between your strategy and your culture.
LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
You've put your people through the pricey university-sponsored leadership development programs to nurture strength and courage in your leaders, and when they come back, not much has changed. Why? Because leaders don't need lectures, they need self-awareness. And the only way to create powerful leadership is not to work on skills (you can get that elsewhere) but on mindset, values and beliefs. I offer high-impact sessions to equip executives with the tools, insights and self-awareness needed to collectively lead organizations through transformation, build supportive cultures, and refine their ability to lead with purpose and influence.
ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE CHANGE
You've done the engagement surveys, work-shopped your organizational values and believed what you were told: that this was enough to tilt your organization's culture towards more positivity and productivity. And yet, nothing much has changed. Expert analysis and facilitation can make the difference between talking about culture change and a movement to profoundly transform it. Bring me in to get everyone's ideas, deep doubts, hidden wisdom and unspoken assumptions onto the table so a path forward can emerge and take hold.
